If this is your first time trying MIUI, read the MIUI Manual (credit The Batman) to become familiar with the interface and many of the hidden options.

Code:

#include <std-disclaimer>
/*Anything you do to your phone is solely your responsibilty, you choose
to modify your phone. This rom has been marked BETA by the developer,
however should anything happen to your phone neither of the developers
"MagiMan7 and/or Tp4bama" nor MIUI.us nor MIUI.com developers are liable
in anyway.*/

COMMON ISSUES

Facebook app will sync ALL contacts

Instead of *228 call *228+ (hold 0 for + sign)

If you have having launcher force closes, switch back to the stock theme to verify the theme is not causing the issue.

If apps do not show up after initial flash, rebooting should make them reappear

If you use Google to back up your contacts, restoring contacts with Miui Backup could result in duplicate entries

Using Titanium Backup to backup and restore apps/data has reportedly caused FCs with certain apps

[DO NOT TRY TO RESTORE SYSTEM DATA FROM ANY ROM INCLUDING MIUI BELOW 1.4.8!!!!!!! or you will get force closes...]

If you cannot move apps to sdcard, uninstall app and reinstall from market

If you have issues downloading anything, run Downloads app and cycle download with wifi

If you cannot download / install apps from market, make sure you have "ROOT Permission" set to ON under SuperUser Settings.

If you get permission denied, root not found, or similar errors, make sure you have "ROOT Permission" set to ON under SuperUser Settings

CRON OPTIONS
The set of cron tasks is editable in the /data/cron/root file. The root file lists all of the commands scheduled to run and the scheduled time. The file can be edited to add tasks or change the preset ones of flushing caches. All tasks in this file will be run as root (superuser privileges). The default cron tasks has a command commented out to cause the phone to do a soft reboot everyday at 2:45 am. This may help keep phone feeling snappy each morning. Remove '#' to have this run everyday

LOCKAPP / UNLOCKAPP INFO
Run lockapp script in terminal or from gscript. Both scripts are located in /system/xbin. Both scripts take a single argument, the process name. For example the Miui Music player has the process name com.miui.player. You can find process names for most installed apps under /data/app (just drop the -1.apk from the name listing).

To lock an app in memory you run lockapp PROCESS. For example, to lock the Miui Music player into memory, run 'lockapp com.miui.player' As a warning, Do not lock more than 1 app in memory. To lock an app in memory, the app has to be running. If the process is not running, the script will inform you.

Once an app is locked into memory, the only way to remove it from memory is to kill the process. The unlockapp does extactly that. It is run with the same arguement, unlockapp PROCESS. If you wanted to unlock the Miui Music player from memory, run 'unlockapp com.miui.player' This will kill the app you are unlocking from memory. If you want it to run the background unlocked, you will have to re-run the app.

A2SD+ INFO
Once you have your sdcard formated for a2sd (Create a 2nd partition of type ext3 using Rom Manger or favorite patition manager), you can run command a2sd from terminal to setup a2sd+. Running 'a2sd help' will give a list of options available. Running 'a2sd install' will move all apps from /data to sdcard. Running 'a2sd datasd' will copy apps as well as their settings / configurations (/data/data) to sdcard.

SWAP OPTIONS
There is an included script called swap located in /system/bin you can run from terminal, adb shell, or gscript. The script takes a single arguement defining what type of swap setup you want. Options are file, compcache, both, none. The script will immediately initiate the swap system chosen as well as update boot up and cron files to keep the selection permenent. So whatever you select will persist after a reboot. To run the command, just enter 'swap OPTION'. So if you want to switch from no swap (default on new instal) to swap file, type 'swap file' and everything is adjusted for you. The swap option will be kept after updateing assuming data is not wiped. If data is wiped, it will default back to none.

VIRTUOUS OVERCLOCK
The virtuous overclock daemon will auto run as long as no SetCPU type apps are installed. The OC daemon will auto underclock the CPU when the screen is off. The daemon repsonds quicker to screen on/off changes than 3rd party apps. Options for daemon can be changed with included app (which can be uninstalled if you don't want to use).

Not sure where that could be coming from. The link from here is to the same source as MIUI.us servers. I am not sure how anything could have gotten into the zip file. AFAIK, there haven't been any issues with anyone who has flashed it yet.

USB tethering isn't working for me. When I plug my phone into the computer, the USB Debugging and USB Storage notifications pop up, so it recognizes that it's plugged into the computer. However, when I switch the USB tethering option from "off" to "on," it says "USB not connected." Wireless Tether (version 2.0.7) works fine though.

This is my first time trying MIUI. I've used Liquid Gingerbread for a long time, but my phone's been freezing up about 1/3 of the time when receiving or answering calls. I tried CM 7, which didn't help and it was much slower at everything than Liquid Gingerbread (and less customizable). I thought that this could be an Android 2.3.7 issue, but I couldn't find anything else anywhere on the internet about this bug. Maybe my trusty Droid is finally starting to die. :sad-b:

I read that MIUI is way different than Liquid or CyanogenMod, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm really liking it! It's not quite as fast as Liquid Gingerbread (3.2), but it's faster than CM7 (7.1.0). I like how customizable and organized it is too.

you can try an sbf to flash to stock, reroot, then reflash the rom...its a lot simpler than it sounds, just follow this link and do the return to stock and then the quick root guide...it really helps some phones work better

I couldn't find a definite answer as to what it exactly stands for, but it might stand for "system binary file," "system boot file," or "summation briefcase file." Whatever it stands for, it's a special imaging format that Motorola uses, and so a special program is needed for it. It completely wipes the phone (except the SD card) and installs a complete operating system on it. I believe it "unroots" the phone too (though the terms "rooting" and "unrooting" are misleading), so it's a true ROM (read-only memory). I'm guessing that it's what Verizon employees use to reformat and reimage phones.
